Delaying packets???

[BingBong]

Today I informed my manager that I may struggle to finish my duty today. He said 'OK well even if you have to bring back every packet, makesure all the mail is delivered at the very least, plus your specials.'

Why is it ok to delay parcels? I'm confused. I ended up bringing back easily 20 packets to my frame at end of shift.

I'm worried now because even though he said to bring them back, i think they might try and screw me over. Probably just paranoid.

But this does bring up an interesting point. I am always told to prioritise mail and bring back packets. Which of course I ignore and just bring back mail! But why is it they want the mail to go first? I assumed it was because it is easier to get someone to do packets on overtime or it's easier to stick them all back in your drop bag for the next day?

god knows but there were loads today bought back. tho wen i got back to the office one guy said to me they had late packets from yesterday which would explain why there was so many, plus i had someone elses packets from another duty to deliver too.

He said 'OK well even if you have to bring back every packet, makesure all the mail is delivered at the very least, plus your specials.'

The only thing i would say is make sure when you get into conversations like this that you have a witness...preferably your rep.

Are all postal services included in the universal service?

In April 2003, Postcomm (the postal services regulator) undertook a consultation on what services should be provided in the universal service in the UK. Having considered the responses from interested parties, Postcomm concluded that the universal service should provide a range of postal services that meet a variety of customer needs – commercial as well as social. Postcomm has decided that the services that make up the universal service that Royal Mail must provide to customers are:

priority and non-priority mail services (letters and packets) up to 2 kilos (Royal Mail’s First and Second Class mail service and bulk mail services)
a non-priority parcels service up to 20 kilos (Royal Mail’s standard parcel service)
a registered and insured service (Royal Mail’s Special Delivery (next day) and Recorded (Signed-for) products)
a range of support services to ensure the security and integrity of mail (Royal Mail’s Re-direction (up to 12 months), Keepsafe, Post Restante, Certificate of posting and Business collections)
international outbound service (Royal Mail’s international public tariff and International Signed For products). The UK is also subject to the requirements of the Universal Postal Union to provide a service for delivery of international inbound mail. Although international outbound services are included in the universal service, there is no requirement for them to be priced on a geographically uniform basis
